Or you call animal control if there are laws against allowing pets outside loose. If there aren't then the only thing you can do is educate the family and maybe fight to change local laws. Stealing someone's pet is not okay.
@imzadi83fanvids7 Wouldn't that just lead to the authorities taking away the cat, or worse? That would not be good for a student's mental health, and mental health can affect grades, so... not a very helpful course of action I would think.
Possibly. But for a first offense it is more likely they would just educate the owners regarding laws and the dangers of outdoors. Further offenses would result in a fine and maybe confiscation of the animal. And as cruel as it sounds a child being upset because the cat was taking away isn't more important then that animal's life. Imagine that child witnessing their cat getting run over by a car, swooped up by a bird of prey, attacked by a dog, kicked by another child, etc. or simply not coming home one day because it got trapped somewhere it couldn't get out of, or ate a rodent that had eating poison someone had set out.@@gpettus9508

What the actual heck. They probably didn't believe the child was telling the truth or something, but like someone else said it's better to call their mother to be sure because losing a pet especially like that is very hurtful for the whole family and it takes a while to get over that greif.
Or here's a thought the lady could have just minded her own damn business. Not her cat not in her classroom not her problem. A lot of situations like this could be resolved if people just minded their own business.
We actually had this happen in my town but not at a school. A cat would always be outside in its yard, which happened to be next to a store. Well this cashier one day decided the cat isn’t safe and took it. She posted on a local fb page and the owner and other locals told her it lives there, it’s owners told her and asked for it back. The cashier then had a friend pick it up and took it 3 towns away. When it got there the cat escaped the car and got hit and was killed. All because some idiot thief stole a cat from its own yard. The fb page got pretty heated after that, as you can imagine. And the saddest part, the owners mother was actively dying from Alzheimer’s and all she kept asking for was her cat. She never forgot about the cat and passed a few days later. The daughter never told the mom what had happened to the cat bc she didn’t want to break her heart. People never cease to amaze me.
Some people are just crazy. I bet the lady was greeted by her cat on the other side at least. Still so sad and senseless the woman and cat couldn't spend thier final days together.
@@karenjohnson5634 yeah, it was nuts. The cashier had the cat at the store for hours after she posted it on fb and everyone well telling her to just let it back outside, it lives there and was sitting on its own rock fence when she took it. She had even called local animal control to report it as a stray and even they told her no, it belongs there, it’s healthy, has access to shelter, food and water and it’s owners took care of it. They told her leave it alone. She literally ignored everyone. They didn’t even have a carrier so they just drove home with it loose in the car and they live right on a main road that’s pretty much a 2 lane highway with a concrete barrier and then another 2 lanes in the opposite direction. The cat darted out of the car right into the highway and had nowhere to run to. It all could’ve and should’ve been avoided. The girl tried to lie and made up a few stories saying she had returned it but in the end the truth came out and the poor lady lost her mother and pet within days of each other and bc of the cat drama the last few days with her mom was spent being tagged and messaged on fb drama. The town rallied around her and helped support her and she was offered a cat whenever she felt ready for another, if that time ever came. As for the cashier, the thief, she actually ended up getting charged by the local police bc pets are considered property. It wasn’t a felony or anything, and I’m sure the public lashing was punishment itself, but she was punished accordingly and I think she learned her lesson. She won’t over be able to make things right, but I don’t see her ever behaving like that again. I don’t think she will have a lot of opportunities to steal cats, but I think it will help her thinking in everything as a whole haha
This happened to me in elementary and the school secretary made me leave the school and try to take the car back home! I was in like 3rd grade. AND it was during the winter and it was super cold out.
I absolutely love you for this kind of transparency. Believing the kids words, admitting all trachers and the entire system are not perfect or above reproach. My kids schools always dismisses things the kids say, present a front as if all teachers are saintly perfect and above reproach who never make mistakes or act off or even outright mean. It is so hard to have a good report when their is distrust. Schools are their own political institutions, and it is difficult to navigate school communications.
I lived accross tbe street from some kids that had a cat that would follow them to the school yard and would meet them after school and come homewith them. Thiswas on quiet street and was maybe half a block on in reality 4 houses away. The street had may e 7-8 hoises on that side. Never had trouble too i think he even went to watch tbe kid at recess and lunch sometimes from a safe place
As someone who rescues. I understand Ms.Peacock but yeah that's a huge no. There are to many strays, unwanted, unloved and unfed for owned animals to be stolen and given homes just because it's not how you raise animals.
The art teacher probably was watching the cat for awhile as it walked with Mary Sue and thought her 'friend' would love to have this cat. Hope Mary Sue's mother pressed charges.
Its considered theft if somebody steals your personal belongings/pets. If a teacher is concerned about a pet/animal they shouldn’t be taking the pet. Especially if it makes the child cry. Its unnecessary.
I was thinking maybe they would call the parents to say the cat got out...but they really was stealing a child's cat cuz they don't believe cats should be outdoors.... entitled.... I do believe most cats shouldn't be out all day eating wildlife it's a ecological problem and if not fixed they making tons of babies BUT I STILL WOULDN'T STEAL MY STUDENTS CAT!!! TF?!
REPORT MS. PEACOCK!!! As a teacher, some teachers need to know their boundaries and stop invading and pillaging the lives of kids. It all starts in Elementary. Im high school. You'd be shocked at what kids carry into adulthood.
I wish I’d had a teacher like you! I’m still traumatized from grade school incidents and I’m 55 years old and college educated! You’re a gem! My wife and I love watching your videos!
as a former teacher: i can totally see this happening!! 😂😂😂 speaking of animals at school: we used to have blessing of the animals until one year kids started trying to outdo each other in bringing outrageous animals to school and one brought her horse. we had to limit it to dog sized animals and smaller. still had a few small goats come through. 😂
Just want to say thank you to any teachers who will actually listen to a kid saying something like this and not take the side of the other adult by default :)
I love that your channel has a fun time teaching us all! Those kids you work with everyday must be much more prepared for the road ahead than the actual mean. (You are probably significant to +5 sigma.) Thanks Ms. Chang (sorry if my spelling's off) for making our society a fun one to live in, one soul at a time!
If that was me you would have bet that teacher would have had, my mother, my father, and my grandmother down there at the school raising hell. Yea when something happened to me, my whole family ended up there. Mom and dad to deal with it, grandmother to take me to her house while parents delt with it, and grandpa Henry to keep my dad from hurting anyone
Oh some cat people are very "you must not be stimulating your cat enough, cats should be indoor only" blah blah blah. We have three. One we took in as a stray or throw away a really cold winter night ( not a baby but not fully grown)and two that were rescued as week old babies that we bottle fed. They enjoy going outside. We have a large yard they roam around in. Sure, theyve killed a couple of birds, but usually just mice and moles. They pout when its too cold or raining. But they go out for a bit and appear in my kitchen window when theyre ready for food, lovins and a nap. On beatiful days they just enjoy the weather and lounge on our back porch. They are living their best lives.
ok, I get it, tough situation to have to randomly deal with, but I'm personally LIVING for bill just being like "that's not right, I'll steal it back" hell yeah little dude lol
My second grade teacher let one of my classmates cat in the window every so often when it followed her to school. This was the late 90s mind you so although not totally normal like lassie not completely unheard of either
This happen to us actually. I have a middle school in my backyard, my cat followed my kids to school every single day. A few times our dog got out and would go up to play. The school got used to it and would just call me and ask me to yell for my pets to come home. Which they would. On day a cat didn’t come back for 3 weeks. We found out a teacher took it and it somehow found its way back home. She thought she was a better fit to own it. The school has since been shut down and I for one am glad
It’s different if you find a cat and don’t know who it belongs to…But if someone says it’s their cat and they let it outside and it is healthy there is no excuse for stealing that cat! In my old neighborhood there was this very cute orange cat that would greet the kids of the neighborhood at the bus stop. A little chubby, and would let you pick him up. Very sweet and obviously had a home near by. Eventually we found the owner and sure enough they let their cat outside and he basically came back home every night.
it's never healthy to let a cat outside. Domestic cats don't belong outside, they're not wild animals. They can get hit by cars, attacked by animals, infected with diseases including infectious feline leukemia, injured by malicious humans, the list goes on. Plus, they're extremely destructive to local wildlife.
LMAO my neighbor Linda steals my cat all the time, I have to call the cops to go get her because she says I starve and abuse her... Her vet told her the cat was between 5 and 7, she's actually going to be 17 next year. People are nuts.
@rafe5072 the cat was an outside cat since birth. She doesn't like being inside. I had 2 indoor cats in addition. This cat pulled the weather stripping off a door trying to go out. She sits and cries at the birds outside, she has broken windows getting out... Sometimes you can't keep them from what they want. She tore the carpet up in the neighbor's house and broke the covering for her pet door, she tore up the sheets and the doors in that house. Part of how I find her is by her screams. So it's fine and good to say keep them inside but unfortunately that's not always an option. She's heavily medicated on sedatives provided by my vet to keep her inside and frankly I think that sucks, but I don't have another option unless I want to continuously fix the damage in my house. The cat is unhappy and on drugs. Healthy, but extremely unhappy. Sucks. Continue talking out your ass though, it's a really good look.
@@HarlequinsHappyHour you could literally build a cat pen or take her outside with a harness on instead of risking her life every day. also why the fuck are you keeping her if you can’t even keep her happy
Yes they are. Our neighbor's daughter just caused a ruckus on social media asking for rescue to come help. The Community cats are skinny & sick. It cause a 10 lb cat that was vet checked 6 months ago ran to the food dish too quick. The other cats are 8 - 18 yrs old.
@@rafe5072some cats DO NOT adapt to inside. They destroy the house & pee on everything. The stress can make them sick. (I been in rescue for 20 yrs & have helped hundreds of animals.)
I had this happen to me once when I was in 4th grade, except it wasn't my pet, it was a lost dog, but he kept following me as I was walking to school and so when I got there I rung the little doorbell thing and asked the secretary if we could call the animal shelter. We did, but they didn't answer and I don't think they were open. We waited there for a few minutes thinking about what to do, when a lady came running down the street and she told us that that was her dog and it had gotten away from her in the yard. So she took her dog back and I went to school. I'm glad my school secretary didn't try to just shoo me inside and leave the dog out there.
First let's jus talk about the kid billy I jus love him every episode he was me in school ND Mary Sue my heart melts Everytime these skits have me wrapped every time daytime TV who😂😂😂

Awe my Luna follows me everywhere I go if I'm walking I would be so heartbroken if somebody took her. It's why she has a collar and a microchip :-) poor Mary Sue.
MsChang i absolutely love your videos, they are so funny and filled with empathy, something sorely missed in this world. I hope you have the best day ❤
This totally happens. I belong to some different local neighbourhood groups on Facebook and there are a couple people who are fairly open about doing this.
I really appreciate teachers like you modeling what you are which is to *believe* children. In my generation (I was in elementary school in late 90s/early aughts) if you told a story like this, a teacher (at my school at least) would prob be like “that couldn’t have happened.” And then the kid is just left to feel messed up and alone the rest of the day.
Cats are incredibly smart with directions, and can travel pretty far in a short amount of time. When allowed outside they will recognize how to get home no matter how far they walked. I had a cat who grew up outside and refused to be an indoor cat. So we let him go out when he wanted, he'd go out for a few hours but he always came home. One time a neighbor found him wondering a few miles away from our home and brought him back to us. He never wore a collar and had actually attacked people who'd try to take him anywhere but home. And my current is is turning out very similar, she taught herself to use the doggy door and has only missed dinner time once, and only by 20 minutes (I think she was sleeping) and will always come when called. The point I am trying to get at. If you see a cat on the street that looks healthy and is affectionate, leave the cat alone. If you are worried, keep an eye on them from a distance, if they don't stray too far from the area you found them and don't seem to belong to a neighbor, or they visibly start to look weaker, then you step in. But if it's a healthy happy cat, they probably have a home they want to get back to at some point.
This happened to me. My family used to take care of a little outdoor cat that belonged to the previous owners of our house, until they got back from a few month long trip to pick her up. She is the sweetest little cat who loves kids. This happened when I was around 8 or 9-ish. We lived right next to the elementary school me and my brother went to, so we could just walk over to the school. Boots, (The cat), would always walk with use to school. She would sometimes show up during recess, and let the kids pet her. One day, one of the teachers picked her up, and took her inside the school. Eight year old me was crying and asking her not to take her, but she still did. I told my mom about it when I got home. She was pretty pissed off they just took the cat. My mom called them, and got Boots back. I understand if the cat was being aggressive towards the kids, but she wasn’t. She’s the sweetest little thing, who loves people, and they just randomly scooped her up and took her away. The situation probably wasn’t as dramatic as it seemed at the time, but to an eight year old, it was crushing and pretty scary, I had no idea what they were gonna do to the cat. Moral of the story: Don’t steal little kids cats
I am sure that was very traumatizing for that student, but kudos to the classmate that was going to save the day.

As a teacher I would be calling the parents. Not taking the cat.
This happened to me!!!!! No lie!! Our cat Quincy followed me to school one day and I saw him when I went to a different teacher's room and she KEPT IT even though I told her it was my cat!!!
If this was recent you should go to the police or something. That is theft.
@supernaturalkitkat I was in like 2nd grade at the time so definitely not recent.
Did you get him back?
@@ddrw1 No. When I got home and told my mom, she and the teacher ultimately decided the cat would be better off inside a house, so she kept it.
@@Sunneelynn thats so dumb, poor quincy
What the actual heck. They probably didn't believe the child was telling the truth or something, but like someone else said it's better to call their mother to be sure because losing a pet especially like that is very hurtful for the whole family and it takes a while to get over that greif.
Or here's a thought the lady could have just minded her own damn business. Not her cat not in her classroom not her problem. A lot of situations like this could be resolved if people just minded their own business.
We actually had this happen in my town but not at a school. A cat would always be outside in its yard, which happened to be next to a store. Well this cashier one day decided the cat isn’t safe and took it. She posted on a local fb page and the owner and other locals told her it lives there, it’s owners told her and asked for it back. The cashier then had a friend pick it up and took it 3 towns away. When it got there the cat escaped the car and got hit and was killed. All because some idiot thief stole a cat from its own yard. The fb page got pretty heated after that, as you can imagine. And the saddest part, the owners mother was actively dying from Alzheimer’s and all she kept asking for was her cat. She never forgot about the cat and passed a few days later. The daughter never told the mom what had happened to the cat bc she didn’t want to break her heart. People never cease to amaze me.
The things I’d be doing…I’d end up having to go off the grid…
Some people are just crazy. I bet the lady was greeted by her cat on the other side at least. Still so sad and senseless the woman and cat couldn't spend thier final days together.
That is ridiculous! I love animals but good grief! Mind your own business! Cats can survive pretty good outside! And some cats just hate being inside!
@@karenjohnson5634 yeah, it was nuts. The cashier had the cat at the store for hours after she posted it on fb and everyone well telling her to just let it back outside, it lives there and was sitting on its own rock fence when she took it. She had even called local animal control to report it as a stray and even they told her no, it belongs there, it’s healthy, has access to shelter, food and water and it’s owners took care of it. They told her leave it alone. She literally ignored everyone. They didn’t even have a carrier so they just drove home with it loose in the car and they live right on a main road that’s pretty much a 2 lane highway with a concrete barrier and then another 2 lanes in the opposite direction. The cat darted out of the car right into the highway and had nowhere to run to. It all could’ve and should’ve been avoided. The girl tried to lie and made up a few stories saying she had returned it but in the end the truth came out and the poor lady lost her mother and pet within days of each other and bc of the cat drama the last few days with her mom was spent being tagged and messaged on fb drama. The town rallied around her and helped support her and she was offered a cat whenever she felt ready for another, if that time ever came. As for the cashier, the thief, she actually ended up getting charged by the local police bc pets are considered property. It wasn’t a felony or anything, and I’m sure the public lashing was punishment itself, but she was punished accordingly and I think she learned her lesson. She won’t over be able to make things right, but I don’t see her ever behaving like that again. I don’t think she will have a lot of opportunities to steal cats, but I think it will help her thinking in everything as a whole haha
I disagree with outdoor cats on principle for safety and environmental reasons but I would never do that, that’s psycho
This almost made me cry. Fluffy just likes to make sure that Mary Sue gets to school safely. She doesn't need to be getting snatched-up!
You Go Bill !!! Teacher's shouldn't steal cat's you're so right.
Keep this up Bill and you may even be almost as cool as Michael.
This happened to me in elementary and the school secretary made me leave the school and try to take the car back home! I was in like 3rd grade. AND it was during the winter and it was super cold out.
Wow 😆. Thank God they wouldn't do that nowadays.
What the heck??? Thats the craziest practice ive ever heard of
Was ur cat okay?
We need a follow up.
I absolutely love you for this kind of transparency. Believing the kids words, admitting all trachers and the entire system are not perfect or above reproach. My kids schools always dismisses things the kids say, present a front as if all teachers are saintly perfect and above reproach who never make mistakes or act off or even outright mean. It is so hard to have a good report when their is distrust. Schools are their own political institutions, and it is difficult to navigate school communications.
I lived accross tbe street from some kids that had a cat that would follow them to the school yard and would meet them after school and come homewith them. Thiswas on quiet street and was maybe half a block on in reality 4 houses away. The street had may e 7-8 hoises on that side. Never had trouble too i think he even went to watch tbe kid at recess and lunch sometimes from a safe place
and they say that cats aren't loyal like dogs!
As someone who rescues. I understand Ms.Peacock but yeah that's a huge no. There are to many strays, unwanted, unloved and unfed for owned animals to be stolen and given homes just because it's not how you raise animals.
The art teacher probably was watching the cat for awhile as it walked with Mary Sue and thought her 'friend' would love to have this cat. Hope Mary Sue's mother pressed charges.
Brilliant intervention Ms Chang ❤❤
My cat used to do the same thing when I went to Elementary school and I would be upset too if a teacher took my cat😢
Its considered theft if somebody steals your personal belongings/pets. If a teacher is concerned about a pet/animal they shouldn’t be taking the pet. Especially if it makes the child cry. Its unnecessary.
I was thinking maybe they would call the parents to say the cat got out...but they really was stealing a child's cat cuz they don't believe cats should be outdoors.... entitled.... I do believe most cats shouldn't be out all day eating wildlife it's a ecological problem and if not fixed they making tons of babies BUT I STILL WOULDN'T STEAL MY STUDENTS CAT!!! TF?!
REPORT MS. PEACOCK!!!
As a teacher, some teachers need to know their boundaries and stop invading and pillaging the lives of kids. It all starts in Elementary. Im high school. You'd be shocked at what kids carry into adulthood.
NAWH IF MY TEACHER GOT STOLE BY MY TEACHER I WOULD BE KICKING OFF
Huh
@@Voltazor_razor what
@@Autumn_Branningif your Teacher got stole by your teacher?
When u have to talk to yr coworkers like they are your students LMAO
So in the real-world situation what happened? Did the kid get their cat back???
Yes, mom got the cat
@@mschanggifted Thank goodness!
@@mschanggiftedbut what happened to ms. Peacock
I wish I’d had a teacher like you! I’m still traumatized from grade school incidents and I’m 55 years old and college educated! You’re a gem! My wife and I love watching your videos!
OMG if this actually happened I really hope the teacher got into trouble.
You're a great communicator!! Love it!
Teachers cat-stealing is the most out of pocket thing I’ve heard today
The best yet. Don’t ever stop these are awesome
Thank you
As a cat fanatic, Mary sues family needs to train her sweet cat to stay inside and wait for her to get home from school. No matter how hard. 😻✌🏻
“The joke of the week”
What do you call a pile of cats?😂
What’s wrong?
Ms.peacock stole my cat😢
I would have said what you did! It better be here. I hope she got her cat back.
Your story telling abilities are epic! I absolutely love watching your shorts they crack me up!!!❤
as a former teacher: i can totally see this happening!! 😂😂😂
speaking of animals at school: we used to have blessing of the animals until one year kids started trying to outdo each other in bringing outrageous animals to school and one brought her horse. we had to limit it to dog sized animals and smaller. still had a few small goats come through. 😂
You do an incredible impression of children you really see them through and through too.
Just want to say thank you to any teachers who will actually listen to a kid saying something like this and not take the side of the other adult by default :)
This was the best way to handle the situation
She needs a raise
Bill is the real MVP.
Some teachers be weird as heck 💀
Thank God for more rational teachers like Ms. Chang
Miss Chang we love y'all
Aww I am so glad you interceded for that poor child
😳😳😳 Is Ms. Peacock worse than Ms. White? 😮
Well she’s out here stealing cats 🤣
I love that your channel has a fun time teaching us all! Those kids you work with everyday must be much more prepared for the road ahead than the actual mean. (You are probably significant to +5 sigma.) Thanks Ms. Chang (sorry if my spelling's off) for making our society a fun one to live in, one soul at a time!
bro i can’t believe this is real that’s literally insane what even
This was very well done!
If that was me you would have bet that teacher would have had, my mother, my father, and my grandmother down there at the school raising hell. Yea when something happened to me, my whole family ended up there. Mom and dad to deal with it, grandmother to take me to her house while parents delt with it, and grandpa Henry to keep my dad from hurting anyone
Oh some cat people are very "you must not be stimulating your cat enough, cats should be indoor only" blah blah blah. We have three. One we took in as a stray or throw away a really cold winter night ( not a baby but not fully grown)and two that were rescued as week old babies that we bottle fed. They enjoy going outside. We have a large yard they roam around in. Sure, theyve killed a couple of birds, but usually just mice and moles. They pout when its too cold or raining. But they go out for a bit and appear in my kitchen window when theyre ready for food, lovins and a nap. On beatiful days they just enjoy the weather and lounge on our back porch. They are living their best lives.
When we lived on the beach our cat would come down with us and explore the rocks. I had to protect a fair few dogs from her...
ok, I get it, tough situation to have to randomly deal with, but I'm personally LIVING for bill just being like "that's not right, I'll steal it back" hell yeah little dude lol
Most unchill art teacher ever
I wish i was her student she is sooo fun,pretty,
Intelligent 🧠🤓,never sad,kool😊😊😊
that teacher shoulda been fired i woulda immediately thrown hands
Oh hecks no!! Mary Sue is such a bright light, I hate seeing her cry from an irresponsible adult! Justice for Fluffy and Mary Sue! ❤
My second grade teacher let one of my classmates cat in the window every so often when it followed her to school. This was the late 90s mind you so although not totally normal like lassie not completely unheard of either
Bill's about to recall seal team 6 and go on a rescue mission! 🤣
Lol wtf. Actually My friend’s amazon diver stole her cat and the ring recorded it
Omg 😳
Me if a teacher stole my cat: THIS LOOKS LIKE THE PERFECT TIME TO SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS-
Srawp it. I'm loling 😂😂😂
Why? It's not funny. I assume you're an auto engagement bot.
@@starlinguk and I'm assuming you're a lonely cat women 🤣🤣
Safety can go so far as to become the mortal enemy of freedom. 😢

This happen to us actually. I have a middle school in my backyard, my cat followed my kids to school every single day. A few times our dog got out and would go up to play. The school got used to it and would just call me and ask me to yell for my pets to come home. Which they would. On day a cat didn’t come back for 3 weeks. We found out a teacher took it and it somehow found its way back home. She thought she was a better fit to own it. The school has since been shut down and I for one am glad
Thank you for being a teacher that stands up for their syudents rwther than tow the line for fellow teachers when they're in the wrong
“And stop stealing cats” like has she done it before or something 😂
It’s different if you find a cat and don’t know who it belongs to…But if someone says it’s their cat and they let it outside and it is healthy there is no excuse for stealing that cat! In my old neighborhood there was this very cute orange cat that would greet the kids of the neighborhood at the bus stop. A little chubby, and would let you pick him up. Very sweet and obviously had a home near by. Eventually we found the owner and sure enough they let their cat outside and he basically came back home every night.
it's never healthy to let a cat outside. Domestic cats don't belong outside, they're not wild animals. They can get hit by cars, attacked by animals, infected with diseases including infectious feline leukemia, injured by malicious humans, the list goes on. Plus, they're extremely destructive to local wildlife.
LMAO my neighbor Linda steals my cat all the time, I have to call the cops to go get her because she says I starve and abuse her... Her vet told her the cat was between 5 and 7, she's actually going to be 17 next year. People are nuts.
This is literally exactly why you don’t leave your cat outside how are you people so empty headed
@rafe5072 the cat was an outside cat since birth. She doesn't like being inside. I had 2 indoor cats in addition. This cat pulled the weather stripping off a door trying to go out. She sits and cries at the birds outside, she has broken windows getting out... Sometimes you can't keep them from what they want. She tore the carpet up in the neighbor's house and broke the covering for her pet door, she tore up the sheets and the doors in that house. Part of how I find her is by her screams. So it's fine and good to say keep them inside but unfortunately that's not always an option. She's heavily medicated on sedatives provided by my vet to keep her inside and frankly I think that sucks, but I don't have another option unless I want to continuously fix the damage in my house. The cat is unhappy and on drugs. Healthy, but extremely unhappy. Sucks. Continue talking out your ass though, it's a really good look.
@@HarlequinsHappyHour you could literally build a cat pen or take her outside with a harness on instead of risking her life every day. also why the fuck are you keeping her if you can’t even keep her happy
Yes they are. Our neighbor's daughter just caused a ruckus on social media asking for rescue to come help. The Community cats are skinny & sick. It cause a 10 lb cat that was vet checked 6 months ago ran to the food dish too quick. The other cats are 8 - 18 yrs old.
@@rafe5072some cats DO NOT adapt to inside. They destroy the house & pee on everything. The stress can make them sick.
(I been in rescue for 20 yrs & have helped hundreds of animals.)
I had this happen to me once when I was in 4th grade, except it wasn't my pet, it was a lost dog, but he kept following me as I was walking to school and so when I got there I rung the little doorbell thing and asked the secretary if we could call the animal shelter. We did, but they didn't answer and I don't think they were open. We waited there for a few minutes thinking about what to do, when a lady came running down the street and she told us that that was her dog and it had gotten away from her in the yard. So she took her dog back and I went to school. I'm glad my school secretary didn't try to just shoo me inside and leave the dog out there.
I felt that Mary Sue!!
You played her so well! ❤
First let's jus talk about the kid billy I jus love him every episode he was me in school ND Mary Sue my heart melts Everytime these skits have me wrapped every time daytime TV who😂😂😂
My face when I thought it was all just going to be a silly misunderstanding but then I watched the rest of the video: 👁👄👁
I love that you followed up even though kids are known for exaggerating or down right lying. Giving the kid the benefit of the doubt was so wholesome.
I’m invested in your channel. Your videos are so interesting. And you remind me so much of a dear friend that I keep thinking what’s she doing on my screen? Then I realize it’s you and click immediately. I can tell you are a very amazing human being. ❤
Awe my Luna follows me everywhere I go if I'm walking I would be so heartbroken if somebody took her. It's why she has a collar and a microchip :-) poor Mary Sue.
You are literally the best teacher ever!
“I don’t care what you did but you need to figure it out.”
One adult to another. Just… sort your mess out.
Perfect! ❤
“Stop stealing cats” with an s?! How many times has she done it? 😂 Also, love your vids ❤
Im sorry this just made my day lol i needed this laugh thank you so much!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Crazy cat lady down the street. Every town have these people. I'm driving a special yellow bus for you.
MsChang i absolutely love your videos, they are so funny and filled with empathy, something sorely missed in this world. I hope you have the best day ❤
I love your videos Soo much!
This totally happens. I belong to some different local neighbourhood groups on Facebook and there are a couple people who are fairly open about doing this.
😂😂😂now I so thought it was Ms. White. 😂😂😂😂Poor Mary Sue. This was so funny.
I really appreciate teachers like you modeling what you are which is to *believe* children. In my generation (I was in elementary school in late 90s/early aughts) if you told a story like this, a teacher (at my school at least) would prob be like “that couldn’t have happened.” And then the kid is just left to feel messed up and alone the rest of the day.
Cats are incredibly smart with directions, and can travel pretty far in a short amount of time. When allowed outside they will recognize how to get home no matter how far they walked. I had a cat who grew up outside and refused to be an indoor cat. So we let him go out when he wanted, he'd go out for a few hours but he always came home. One time a neighbor found him wondering a few miles away from our home and brought him back to us. He never wore a collar and had actually attacked people who'd try to take him anywhere but home. And my current is is turning out very similar, she taught herself to use the doggy door and has only missed dinner time once, and only by 20 minutes (I think she was sleeping) and will always come when called. The point I am trying to get at. If you see a cat on the street that looks healthy and is affectionate, leave the cat alone. If you are worried, keep an eye on them from a distance, if they don't stray too far from the area you found them and don't seem to belong to a neighbor, or they visibly start to look weaker, then you step in. But if it's a healthy happy cat, they probably have a home they want to get back to at some point.
This happened to me. My family used to take care of a little outdoor cat that belonged to the previous owners of our house, until they got back from a few month long trip to pick her up. She is the sweetest little cat who loves kids. This happened when I was around 8 or 9-ish. We lived right next to the elementary school me and my brother went to, so we could just walk over to the school. Boots, (The cat), would always walk with use to school. She would sometimes show up during recess, and let the kids pet her. One day, one of the teachers picked her up, and took her inside the school. Eight year old me was crying and asking her not to take her, but she still did. I told my mom about it when I got home. She was pretty pissed off they just took the cat. My mom called them, and got Boots back. I understand if the cat was being aggressive towards the kids, but she wasn’t. She’s the sweetest little thing, who loves people, and they just randomly scooped her up and took her away. The situation probably wasn’t as dramatic as it seemed at the time, but to an eight year old, it was crushing and pretty scary, I had no idea what they were gonna do to the cat. Moral of the story: Don’t steal little kids cats
"And stop stealing cats!" This is a reaccuring issue isn't it lol
